Andrew Yang and the Times Square stuff reminds me of when I say I like Fisherman's Wharf and everyone in San Francisco gets mad at me.

I get it, you value yourself by how much of a true local you really are and performatively hate tourists. I dont care so I can enjoy things :)

I like meeting people from all over the world at Fisherman's Wharf. I like occasionally posing for pictures or taking some for someone else. I like being asked by tourists whats the best spots in San Francisco. I like all the sweets and carnival food and historic streetcars.

"Imma true local cuz I go to Dolores Park like all the other hipsters and stare at the skyline all day."

Okay cool, thanks. At least be interesting and go to a better more secluded park like Buena Vista or Grandview.

Just not true. There's nothing to do on the westside of SF besides go to the beach in August when its rarely sunny.

As an East Bay resident the idea of going to San Francisco to visit a park is not ideal. My neighborhood is a park and Tilden's up the street. GGP is good by SF standards.

And half of the people in Pier 39 aren't even tourists anyways they're families from the rest of the Bay usually out enjoying a sunny Saturday.

When I say Fisherman's Wharf I mean the entire strip from Pier 39 to the actual Wharf I guess.

Now I've never been to Times Square but it looks like the equivalent of Market Street or Powell in SF. I dunno, corporate shopping centers, ads all over the place, tourist ground zero, still fun to sit and people watch.

The worst part of SF is the Golden Gate Bridge.

Honestly the most fun part of SF for me is riding a bike down Hudson Ave.

Real SFers who hate tourists: "Huh, what? Wheres that?"
